As far as I can tell claims like yours are just another right wing myth used to demonize immigrant populations they don't like with as much supporting evidence as Trump's fake immigrant crime wave. Maybe a few anecdotes with no broad supporting trends.

All I can say is that I hope you're right and I'm wrong. I don't like the idea of children growing up in America and as citizens who aren't allowed to learn the dominant language.

Take a little trip down to Louisiana and tell the cajuns there that they are jerks. See how that goes.

Either that, or spend some time in the Southwest, and meet some of the hispanics who want their children to have American citizenship but don't want them to learn English.

That may be so, but you have to balance that against their insistence that the word "mathematics" is plural simply because it ends in an S.

I have no doubt whatsoever that those of the Blue States who failed to vote in the last election are regretting their failure to act However, do you have any objective evidence that the nation's Red Voters regret the outcome of the election?

Given how divisive and volatile our society has become, I estimate coordinated campaigns against platforms would happen within days of a law like this being enacted.

Considering how many hotheads there are on all sides of the political spectrum and how eager some of them are to use insult to attack anybody who doesn't agree with them, I'd be astonished if there weren't insult campaigns already being planned so that they can be launched as soon as possible after this section gets repealed.

If you really believe that soldiers and/or sailors aren't trained to do exactly that today, you're living in a fantasy world.

"No, Davies can't fix the autocannon even if your lives depend on it. Division says to shoot him in the arse if he so much as touches it."

Nice bit of fiction, but here's what actually happened when Sgt. John Basilone fixed a machine gun under fire. The results look a little different, don't they?

Numerous stores already track you via your phone's Bluetooth signal.

That's easy to prevent: just turn your Bluetooth off when you're not using it and make sure it's off before going into any store that you suspect is using it to track you. Personally, I can't remember the last time I've had it turned on. Of course, I can't use those fancy wireless earbuds (or any other kind) because they don't fit my ears.

If people would like to get their âoedisabilityâ tested and verified with more than an echo chamber and paid for personally, then the results will speak for who should be recognized vs. who should be questioned instead of coddled.

In my case, any disabilities I'd be claiming would have been tested and verified by the VA. (Currently, I'm 30% disabled, all disabilities Service Connected as I posted earlier.) Would you find that sufficient, and if not, why?

I suspect that if they tried filtering out people like me that way, they'd soon find themselves on the wrong end of a law suit. Why? Because all of my disabilities have the magic words "Service Connected" attached to them which means that the disabilities I'm claiming have been tested for and verified.

You may have more music than me, but how much of it do you actually listen to? I keep that flash drive mounted in my car at all times unless I'm adding more to it and I've got a a wide variety that keeps it from getting dull. Various classical pieces going back to Bach, various arias, show tunes, TV themes and even different versions of a few songs, set so that they're not together. How much variety is in that 80 Gig of yours?

You clearly have not the slightest idea what the problem actually is. Well done, you are an idiot.

And you have clearly proven by several of your posts in this discussion that you are an ignorant fool who thinks that he can win arguments simply by insulting his opponent. Twit!

(might as well just have a USB stick with the same stuff on repeat)

That's what I do for in-car music. Of course, the flash drive has, at the moment, 252 different pieces of music on it, so it doesn't exactly repeat very often.

Sugar is not harmful in sensible quantities, i would rather drink a small quantity of full sugar coca-cola than any quantity of coke zero.

I'm an insulin dependent (LADA) diabetic, thanks to Agent Orange. Unless I need to recover from hypoglycemia before I pass out, that is not an option for me. I'm sure that I'm not the only person reading this thread who has to avoid regular sugar except in very small amounts (Sugar in my morning coffee is part of my morning carbohydrates.) or in emergencies.

Prepared foods should in theory cost more because you're paying for not only the ingredients but also the preparation, the only reason they're cheaper is because they can hide all kinds of unpleasant or inferior ingredients in there.

You can believe that if it fits in with your particular set of conspiracy theories, but it's not true. The USDA is very big on inspecting commercial food plants and comes down like a metric ton of bricks on companies that try that sort of thing. No, what keeps the prices on factory food down is something called "economies of scale." I'll let you look that up for yourself because that way there's a slight chance that you'll learn something.
